The most interesting takeaway from this for me is that although we don't know if it will hit our planet, there's a possible impact corridor that's well established if it does. It doesn't include my house, so that's a relief. Not sure NatWest home insurance covers that.

It doesn't include the White House either unfortunately.

I don't think earth's biggest threat is extra terrestial.

Downgraded to a 0.001% threat now.

I saw 0.004%...hold on, is this about the asteroid or severe outcomes from Covid jabs?
